In June, Eli Lilly said it planned to close the factory unless an dosage tadalafil
drugs firm could take over the Impotence herbs site and its 555 employees.
No buyer was found and manufacturing will stop at the end of 2007.
Company directors have said the cuts have been made due to “over capacity” and they hope to relocate some employees to other UK sites.
The company had carried out employee consultation on the closure and has said about 100 employees will be eligible for impotence herbal medication
.
US-based Eli Lilly manufactures medicines including Prozac, a treatment for clinical tadalafil tablet
and Cialis, a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
